Hey, you never know, they might give you a push!

You are right that untested autonomous modes are a potentially dangerous situation, but, well, even tested ones are. (See this shining example of what happens when one of your encoders is just chilling rattling around in you're robots belley pan instead of being coupled to a shaft.)
